Dear all:
I have tried the "Basic Authentication" with Apache 2 of RH9.0 the same way
as I did in "Apache 1.3 of RH7.3" but got the opposite result; it didn't
work.
Here is what I did:
- In /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, I put:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
. . .
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
- In the file /var/www/html/.htaccess, I wrote:
AuthName "Top Web Secrets"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
- Then, I added a user as follows:
$ htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd john
These no longer work with Apache 2 of RH9.0 (Authorization failed).
Please, can someone tell me what I miss?
Regards,
Vidol
